    the original post and the problems the first reply is talking about is very pertinent to Hawaii

    you asked for an example, this is a real directly illustrative one

    the argument was something along the lines of development harming visual appeal (while having 10 story+ apartments in Waikiki)

    but it was and always is about cheap local labor to exploit

    tourism does not help locals any more than trickle down economics helps the average citizen
